    Well being the annoying IT guy who enforces password policies and stuff, I am not the kind to give out my password for less them $1,000,000

        Oh Chris, why I do believe I have a chocolate bar here with your name on it. Oh look, a box of Godivas as well! No no, don't mention it my friend, it was all my pleasure. Say, can you remind me again what was the password for the CP Databases?
